The committee "Pora Aty" was formed in the city of San Pedro. It has 11 women who work hard so that they can help their children and their families. They are determined women who have plenty of drive to succeed. For this reason, they always strive to do their best.

Hilda is one of the members. She says that she raises farm animals such as chickens, pigs, ducks, goats, and other livestock. Hilda is requesting a loan to buy balanced feed for her animals since she does not want to run out of inventory. She is grateful to Fundación Paraguaya and Kiva for the help she and her friends have received.

About Fundación Paraguaya

Fundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.

This is a Group Loan

In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.

Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
